GERMANY: JBL Smart speaker system includes removable subwoofer

Harman announced it supplies JBL audio systems for Daimler's new Smart Fortwo and Forfour models, adding to the business it was already doing with the automaker.

Innovations include a removable subwoofer to extend boot volume when drivers need to load extra baggage.

The Fortwo has a six-channel DSP high-performance amplifier and eight speakers, including that removable subwoofer. The center loudspeaker is placed in the middle of the dashboard, and two tweeters to the left and right of the A-pillar. The low midrange speakers are placed to the bottom of the driver and passenger doors, and there are two surround speakers at head height.

The Forfour has an eight-channel DSP amplifier plus an additional two pairs of high-frequency and low mid-range speakers with the surround speakers positioned in the C-pillars.
